I aquired myself a bunny issue whilst RU was down - typical isn't it, I have nothing of interest to add or ask about all week and the one time RU fluffs up I find a question I need to ask! :roll::lol:
Getting to the point, a friend asked me earlier this evening if I had space for two more rabbits. His mum works at a primary school and apparently they are *thinking* about finding the school's pet rabbits a 'proper home' (seriously, why do schools get 'pets'??).
My friend doesn't know much about them but is pretty sure they're both neutered as he remembers his Mum saying something about preventing litters and he thinks they'd be vaccinated. This is all I know so far - I have no idea about sexes, ages, breeds, what they're living in, if they're tame... Dan will ask his Mum when he sees her during the week.
If they're in need of a home, I'm happy to take them provided they are neutered as I'm not sure I could afford to get that done any time soon (the car is waiting for new brakes which I figure is pretty important! :lol and I don't have the space to keep two unneutered bunnies until they're done. (I have an emergency bank account in case of emergency vet bills though )
I'm thinking if I took them on, I'd have a jiggle about of my current bun housing, bond them to Pharrell and Daphne and put them in the playhouse. I'd have to tell my friends Mum that if they didn't bond, she'd have to take them back and find them a different home. I don't see the harm in trying though, I attempted to bond P&D to Thistle and Jess once and they behaved themselves perfectly - just Jess disliked them.
Do we think my playhouse would be big enough? It's 5X7 with a 6X3 run. I can extend the run by another couple of feet but it can't be any wider as it runs along the back of my shed and I need to be able to fit behind there too!
